I got my first chance to try using my new reflector on a sunny day yesterday afternoon shooting some outdoor senior portraits. I have the 42-inch 5-in-1 set made by Interfit, and I was very pleased with the results I got. In each of the examples below, the reflector was positioned to minimize shadowing on the back side of the face.

This one was not shot with the reflector, but with the 540 flash with a fabric diffuser...then put through an extreme edit. (As you can see from the earlier shots, the young man is hardly this sinister-looking.)
